Alarm audio playback to a Bluetooth speaker from Raspberry Pi Zero W

Hi,

Firstly the plugin is awesome I have managed to integrate a number of sensors and Webhooks into the capability however I am looking to getting the alarm to play audio to a connected bluetooth speaker on the Pi.

I have managed to test and verify a bluetooth speaker with the pi and configured the connection with bluetoothctl and succeed in getting audio to playback using bluealsa. The Pi will auto reconnect to the bluetooth speaker when it boots.

I have set the location of the audio file in the config and installed but I am unsure what command is being used to initiate the playback. In order to push via bluetooth and not default to HDMI (which I think its doing) you need to insert arguments into the playback instruction:

aplay -D bluealsa /home/pi/alarm.wav

Would there be any way to have this feature added? Or if it is a function that is currently built in could you point me in the right direction to resolve?

Let me know if you want me to test anything or generate any logs if you need anything to help debug it. Happy to help.

That’s understandable.

I’ll check this out next week and look for alternatives.
